FAQ

What are the event details?The artwalk/street celebration will take place on Saturday, September 22nd, from 11 AM - 5 PM, on Ramsay's two-block stretch of 23rd Avenue SE (between Spiller Road and 8th Street). For a map, take a look here.

Is this a children's event?It's for everyone, but we'll have a children's event on the front lawn of 819 23rd Avenue (the house with the sun painted on it) between 1-3 PM: a tea party with a fairy tale princess, as well as sidewalk chalk and soap bubbles.

What about washrooms?Caffe Rosso at 803 24th Avenue (one block away) has graciously offered the use of their (wheelchair-accessible) washroom to artwalk patrons. While you're there, you won't want to miss their excellent coffee and food, of course!

For toddlers who can't wait, a bathroom will be available at 819 23rd Avenue (just come over and ask). The washroom at 819 is upstairs (not wheelchair-accessible). 23rd Avenue has no public washrooms.

Is this a street party? We're not closing off the street - this is a sidewalk stroll. Is this an arts and crafts sale?We first envisioned this event as a fun exercise in community-building, which would also bring more Calgarians into the inner city to discover a bit more about the neighbourhood of Ramsay. However, yes, it is absolutely an arts and crafts sale too, featuring first-rate work for sale, along with the opportunity to meet with the artists on their home turf - literally! So make sure to bring CASH (or visit our local ATM two blocks away at the 7-11 on Spiller Road and 21st Street). What if the weather is lousy?We'll play it by ear. Since displaying art outdoors is pretty weather-dependent, some participants may not be able to show their work in case of bad weather. For now, let's just hope for the best!What is "find it"?This event is a find it - part of a new series of pop-up events in Inglewood & Ramsay! Find out more here.
